Fruit blenders and traffic law

You should have knowledge of this news first. Since my time and before it, we had single traffic law exam for licence application, but recently, the ministry changed it into two, one exam for each type of application, so that will be two type of exam that we have to sit for. Then recently, they changed it back again after numerous complaints. Link below:

Fruit blenders and traffic law

Lili was blending fruit juice for her good friend, Owy. Lili was busy with her two fruit blenders at the kitchen counter. Owy was bored watching TV so he decided to help her out in the kitchen.

“Why are you blending apple and pear separately? You’re going to make apple pear juice, aren’t you?” said Owy curiously when Lili was blending apple with a blender and pear with another blender. The blenders were identical.

“Will you pass me that big mug, please?” replied Lili without answering his doubt. A few drops of sweat slide over her forehead as she turned around.

Owy passed a huge white mug with roads and vehicle graphics on it to Lili, she then poured the apple juice and pear juice into the mug.

“It was stated here, ‘blend apple and pear separately, then pour them into the same container right on the way’, then a fresh apple pear juice is ready to be serve!” said Lili while showing Owy the recipe she had in hand cheerfully.

“They must be misleading, those juices are going to end up at the same place, and we are going to drink it with the same mug at once right? We’re not going to drink apple juice and eat pear then let their juice mix in our stomach. There’s something wrong.” Owy said with a little tone of frustration. Lili had always been a naïve innocent girl. The news about the Transport Ministry decided on single traffic law test for cars, bikes applicants was on the TV.

“Now this is right, we are going to be road users of an identical road system, the traffic law are the same and applied equally to everyone. Lili, do you understand? We are going to mix the fruit at first, now your new blender is an extra.”


Lili nodded with confusion. 




hope you enjoyed my story =D
I'll write again.

Some little time after lunch

It's been awhile since my last post.
It's 29-Jan-2015, sunny.

And we have come to semester breaks, money digging time! I had found some part time job. I'd get a job working for 10 days, promoting and selling bird nest at Queensbay Mall, Penang. I work under this company called Freshnest. They are truly bird nest manufacturer. I've learned a lot from them even I haven't start working. Then, unexpectedly, I've been recommended to another job at City Hotel, Penang. A job which I never try before, looking forward. I felt quite uneasy at first when I apply for this job, to try something I never tried before, to take the possibility of being a potato. However, as usual, the fearless side of me take over, brings out courage, that's how I be brave. Another crazy attempt I've done is looking for freelance writer job. I've inquire for a short story writer job for a news website. Crazily I sent in one writing (will share here in the next post). Of course I didn't get that job, LOL, Syed (the person in charge) commented that my story was funny but vague, which I think it is because he didn't read about the news I've based on, and couldn't get it. By the way, nice try Charmaine <3

During my holiday, I have done completing my puzzle and framed it, hang it up. It is prettily decorating my room now. It's a 300 pieces jigsaw puzzle I got from Jigsaw Puzzle World at Midvalley, Kuala Lumpur. It cost me RM99.00 which is a lot for a poor student like me, but its quality is super nice! This genuine puzzle comes with a pack of glue and applicator inside. Who can resist a Studio Ghibli art? 
I have been working out lately, one of my goal, our goal. To have that beautiful figure I had desired for so long. Finally putting it into action, consistent action. I have been working out everyday, partially because I'm free. I couldn't promise that this habit will continue when I'm in university, but I hope it will. I have pick out work outs that I think suits me the best and I enjoyed. I discovered that, I like working out. =) 
These are some workout I had keep on doing:
Standing Abs routine (know it from youtube)
Oblique crunch
Oblique planks
Planks
Mountain Climbers
Push ups
Heel touch
Starfish crunch
Butterfly crunch
Kneeling leg lifts
Bridge
Squats
I can really feel my muscle while doing these. Know them mostly from youtube channel XHIT. 
I've learned about HIIT(High intensity interval training) too, which is very fat burning.

Keep holding on Charmaine! You can do it! XOXO
I'll write next time.

1.1.2015

A new year begins!
Looking back to 2014. I've learned a lot, and I think that I have became better. 
"I've been bent and broken, but into a better shape."-----Charles Dickens.

In the year of 2014, I'm lucky enough to study and learn about Literature, and discovered my admiration and fondness toward it. I've have better understandings about myself, which is the best thing I've done in these 21 years. It is important to have our own thought and to think or see things not only on how it is presented. I really should read more books, reading and thinking really helps in the way we see life.

One good thing had blessed me from 2014 to 2015. I'm glad it happened. To meet someone who can understand and willing to understand you, let's have understandings and affection at the same time. I found out that I'm different from what I used to be, maybe more mature and real. What is more precious to me are not words but action, what are more valuable to me are not presents but time, presence and understandings. I hope you and me could last. Time is love.

Hmmm, new year resolution. What you really want to do is in your mind, you will remember it no matter how, there is no need to write it down. Goals and dreams that are needed to be reminded all the time are not what we really desired, it is just some sudden idea of doing things. I have a few here, but I don't feel like writing them down. I hope that keeping them in mind will also become my motivation to complete and achieve them.

Say hi to 2015, say bye to 2014! more good things to come! =D
